Jet Pumps / berkly pump

« on: August 22, 2011, 10:03:46 AM »

Should the front bearing housing get alittle warm when cruzing around 3000 rpm? I mean you can put your hand on it for a couple seconds. then when you idle around it cools off alittle.there is no vibration and no greese sweating out. been using high temp molly greese. and we get about 10 drips a minute.just wondering if thats normal or should it run cool all the time? pump was rebuilt about 7 years ago and we use the boat maybe 8 times a year.

I was wondering if you guys could give me some advise. i have a 468 ci olds thats going on 7 seasons. this year the starter seems to be a little weak when starting. hot or cold. the batterie is fully charged the alternator is 14.2 volts when running. i usually run 10 degrees on timing, to start a little easyer i took 4 degrees out of it!! thats after i took the starter out to have it tested it passed..i also have a ford regulator to help with more amps when starting. engine runs great other then the womp..womp.. when starting..

Jet Pumps / Y.j. pump

« on: September 22, 2008, 06:08:57 PM »

Is the energizer kit worth buying for the Y.J. pump? i read you can put diffrent impellers wedges, shoes and diverters after the kit is installed. Or is it better to just reglass the bottom for a berkly style pump?
